UKMO there are some issues with regards rainfall at the end of April/start of May across Devon. there was around 50mm of rain spanning this period which depending on whether the UK 09 to 09 periods are used or 00-24 may be in the April or May record as there was around 20mm of rain between 00 abd 09Z on the 1st of May. Overall though the idea that the trhee months where milder and mostly drier is te basis of the evaluation for the season. Month to month data looking for drioer April signal and wetter ion SE in May..

Comment on the summary: Good signal for above average temperatures. Monthly data less of a help. Rainfall monthly detail was not good but got some idea about drier in NE Scotland in March, did not get the drier April or the wetter in SE in May. Overall poor. Pressure trend fair with lower pressure less likely later but did not get the overall above average pressure.
